I just want to say thank you to Nightwish, y'all have helped me with dealing with the loss of my son on March 30 of this year and I leaned on your music to help me with and I know I'll probably never get to see y'all or meet y'all cause I'm in the United States but never can thank y'all enough for helping me much love from me to y'all
It‘s fantastic to see how the story of nightwish goes on and on with all the inspirations that comes in your mind, when you listen to this outstanding music. It an honor to be able to be part of that story - even from the far
It's a joy to be alive in the age of Nightwish. The intelligence and artistry in the writing and scoring, and the talent and brilliance of every single musician makes Nightwish stand alone. Nightwish represents the very best of what music can be. I love this band, and each and every musician who has been a part of it over the years. Thank you all...
This keeps getting better with every listen. (The cranks must have only listened once.) There's a lot that you don't hear (or see) on the first few trips. Like how the girl planting a twig is the one holding up a rose toward the end. How things go sideways for the group at the moment the children start to sing. I'm still hearing new things in the instrumental break.
The way the band has been amping up the cinematic elements alongside the auditory is insane. It’s a meta experience. You can consume either or and still receive the message - we are human, a blink of an eye in the cosmic play, and we must appreciate what we have and beauty available while we live and thrive. Regardless of religion and belief, we are one. “We were here.”
As Tuomas implied in a recent interview, in this song, Floor represents the evil of what the world may be facing (and, in my opinion, taking on a role previously reserved for Marko) while the children's choir represents the hope for a better and brighter outcome and future. I absolutely love this as well as Perfume of the Timeless. I am anxiously biding my time for the upcoming September release of the entire album.
From the video footage itself, since Floor is "afflicted" in the same way as the people she's administering to, it suggests she is not the cause of the system, but she's certainly complicit in the system. And she experiences a crisis of belief in the system and wibblywobbly visuals begin. It's an interesting artistic concept the whole package.
Wow, what a great reference to the Ludovico experiment with the idea of the apocalypse in all previous generations and this one, nightwish never cease to surprise me
The more I listen to the song the more I like it. Everybody does a fantastic job and Floor as always, magnificent. The children's choir is a great addition to the song and of course the orchestra. I love how even with some differences to the Nighwish sound you can still tell is Nighwish. ❤
Atleat, this kne is actually listenable. Instead of whatever the first single was with that uncalled for unfinished high-pitched-fast-paced solo that sounded like it was at volume 90. While most if the song was at a volume 20-30 at most.
Hardly recognized the band members, for a moment I thought Floor was not in the video 🤣 No words but: CHILLS! How come this song at the same time it is so different from all the other Nightwish songs, it still carries the Nightwish sentiment to it, and it still differs so much from everything you can find out there.

Inspirational: YES, Artistic: YES, Cinematographyc: YES...All is there, and I will always listen to Nightwish, which I have since 2002. Although I appreciate it, this song won't be my favorite.
Love this song more and more everytime I listen to it. I love, that they picked up this theme, which we are facing in our time and reality since at least the last four years. They don't talk about certain things officially in interviews and stuff, while other artists (ab)use their influence heavily to spread their own agenda, and to push the side they are on. Nightwish takes a different approach. They encourage independent thought, then poignantly express their stance through their music. I deeply admire it!💛
It's a real masterpiece! The song and the video. I can't stop listening to it! A perfect balance of Floor, the band and the choirs! I hear so much in it!
I'll admit I've watched this when I'm high, and omg every sentence makes sense, the song is amazing, whole video speaks words. Wonderful tune. We are....? Let's exist. ❤️
This song is the demonstration, even if there was no need, that you don't play, you don't sing, you don't act... you are the VIBRATION THAT CREATES LIFE. You are and will always remain in my soul. I send you lots of Light. Kisses from Italy 🇮🇹❤️. Post scrittum: Every time Floor open her mouth i cry😅 I Love this Mother Nature ❤
Mám viac ako 65 a asi pred 1,5 rokom som našiel skladbu od Nightwish Amarath a očarila má. Odvtedy počúvam denno denne skladby aké od Nightwish existujú a doslova som pri nich omladol. Dodávajú mi silu, kľud a pokoj a dobrú náladu. Dúfam že ich skladby budem môcť počúvať ešte dosť dlho. Zdravim zo Slovenska ❤
Always funny to see people comment “it doesn’t sound like the old …”. What do people expect? Do they expect artists to keep making the same album over and over again? It’s like asking Leonardo da Vinci to always paint the same painting, just with slightly different colours.
It's not changes per say that makes fans abandon bands,it's when the alterations are poorly done.There have been changes throughout the 28 years but they still maintained decent success until a decade ago,so the change stuff is a cop out.
@@Erikem37 no evidence of that unfortunately,they only have 2 million Spotify followers and the streams are 50% Anette era and 43% from the 6 Tarja releases.
@@wouterverlinden3950 people will always complain when you’re putting out worse stuff. It’s not that it’s different, it’s that it’s not as good as it used to be. Tuomas is bored and his music is boring, too.
@@ricky49rob it's pretty troubling when you build your future with "the number of followers" as your main KPI. It's good that there are still bands out there who are not afraid to change and try something new.
Wow, this band never stops to surprise me. Each new album is different from the previous ones and yet unmistakably Nightwish. The band manages to maintain its trademark without standing still. Absolutely awesome!
I wasn't really feeling this song until the abrupt change at "Too late; gather up." That caught my attention, and then everything after that was great. Now going back to the beginning, I like the whole thing.
Once again impressed with Tuomas' lyrics and even more so with Floor's ability to sing them, because boy do they make a complicated vocal line 🤣 Loved the song, my excitement for the album keeps growing!
Don't you just hate it when you're trying to watch the news but fall sideways through your screen and end up in space? Every freaking Thursday I swear... and my insurance never covers for it! Jokes aside, I absolutely love the visuals in this video. I don't often like music videos as it feels like they break the images I have in my mind while listening to the music on its own, but this one just works. Wonderful work!
Yes. Yes yes yes. I’ll take ten scoops please! I’m so excited for this album I have no words! It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to listen to the art of such incredibly talented people for over a decade now. Every new release is different, yet so recognisably Nightwish🖤
This was a really cool concept. The makeup on the band was really cool. I’ve said for years Nightwish is more than the music it’s an experience. Tuomas’s writing has been a major influence on me for 25 years.
I've heard the song more than 10 times it's amazing, Floor's voice, the chorus ofI've heard the song more than 10 times it's incredible, Floor's voice, the children's choir is spectacular My favorite part is the chorus at the end with Floor's voice Super powerful with her great Belting she is amazing and the whole band with that great sound 😊❤🎉
I'm glad to say the song has grown on me, it has lots of Song of Myself and Scaretale vibes, I picture it in my head like an eerie puppet show or a dark carnival made of AI characters (Tim Burton, or Neil Gaiman's Coraline style) but it will probably be a red version of Matrix (sorry but that's what my mind instantly went to) mixed with the somber world displayed in Noise video
I have to admit, I really had to sit with the song and after many listens, I was coming to the conclusion that it was one of those extremely rare occasions where I simply didn't like the song but seeing it together with the video music it clicked - I get it and I think together they tell an incredible story. Incredible cinematography and thank you, Nightwish, for another masterpiece 🖤
Exactly the same feeling about the song. Not what I expected, but Nightwish music style evolved. Everyone is evolving, regardless of our expectations. Still trying to figure out how I feel about it, because it's not what I used to listen.
@doriantheelf8242 what a wild ride this band is taking us on, huh? I don't think this song will be in my top favorites but at least with the visuals I now understand it better and I think it's a beautiful piece. Here's to evolution and the wild ride
@@emmason8237 i generally find that so fascinating about NW - just look at their discography: EVERY TIME they're trying sthg new. No song, no album is like another. It always evolves and I believe that's what keeps NW alive, even after so many years.
@@lioness.moon.goddesss2402 I agree 100%! Over the years, through the albums and the highs and the lows and the even more epic highs - there's not a band in this world that I love more and am more proud of 🖤 also the way it connects all of us - just the kind of beautiful this world needs now more than ever
@@emmason8237 totally! I must say I also might have a bit of a more relaxed perspective on this as I've found NW just some years ago - I wasn't even born during Tarja era 😅 so I'm used to NW being divers, I have less expectations on how they "should" be, bc even if I don't like it, I still got those maaaanyyy other songs from them that I just love 😌
Oh please, they peaked in 2007 - 2012 - Endless forms was ok but the last two albums have been extremely average by comparison, Human : Nature had one good track on it.
@@hammerhiem75 I have a different taste in music than you. I enjoy Floor era music more than the earlier stuff. And that's ok. Or at least should be ok. :)
@@SilverCreek24 You can like what ever you like but objectively the quality of the music has dropped of a cliff, this is reflected in the lack of album sales and views. DPP 1.8m albums sales (Triple Plat) HN So low they didn't even bother listing it. didn't even make Gold.
@@hammerhiem75 Everyone is selling less albums than they did 20 years ago. The world has changed, and now streaming is becoming more and more popular. Besides, every band and artist has the one album that sold more than the others, and it doesn't take away anything from the music they have made after that. As long as bands and artists are happy with their own art then I'm happy. I'm not the type of person who condemns someone's career because of albums sales. I encourage them to continue doing their own thing and stay true to themselves. :) I believe in the power of positivity. :)
What an amazing song! I love the music, the dramatic development, the instruments and the climax. The contrast between the increasing moods of lyrics and instruments, and the innocent seeming choir is stunning! The lyrics are very deep layered and remind me of personal things and the whole cultural and sociocultural development of the last years. I agree. Thank you to Nightwish and greetings to 1984!
Greetings from Wisconsin USA , 20 years fan and This Is awesome , Love it , Thank you Nightwish for making my life better each time you release a new song or Album !!!
@@EphraimSyriacus It means there's a difference between results and excuses,reality and myth..You're talking about the former with Linkin Park,that's legit results,genuine..not the but,but that's been recycled 12 years now,there's no muzzle.There's no mystery anymore.
The feeling of falling throughout the entire film makes me uncomfortable, and I love it. It fits the music so well! I absolutely fell in love with it, you have deeply affected me with this one. Well done Nightwish, Stobe and Khimo 😘
Tons of hours of selecting the perfect microphone, recording million takes, flying to London to record a real orchestra & choir, spending insane amounts of money in production, countless mixing and mastering hours including dolby atmos, and then finally when the time comes for the world to hear your new masterpiece, you release in MONO AUDIO
@@thor_nay the director did really long last few days before the release and apparently when this was uploaded there was a mistake in the audio side. They are fixing it now… thanks.
I'm so happy that Nightwish is still making songs that are not rushed. We can notice that they're well elaborated, showing the time spent in each song. You are great and I am grateful that you share your work with us. Well done!
First off I really like this song and its new sound, I love it when they do something new and also try different ways of doing the verses (also great pronunciation by Floor). And as always the lyrics are absolutely brilliant. I also have to say that having the children's choir sing the refrain is a great idea and for those who complain about this, it literally says "We are the ill-starred kids...". The only thing I would have liked them to do more with is the part after the amazing instrumental part. It's such a nice build-up just to immediately slow down again and start with another verse? I know they can do much better. I usually like how they play with qieter/silent moments but I think it doesn't fit at this point of the song. I have to agree with others when saying that Floor's voice is not used to its full potential. I adore her operatic head voice, which I've missed in the latest albums, and I think they could have done something a bit more dramatic after that instrumental part with her voice and maybe some dark violins so it feels more dramatic. But the ending of the song is very well done and sounds very cool. I'm looking forward to the rest of the album!
Great song. Great message. Tuomas has always expressed himself and the world around him so beautifully through his music. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
This composition's structure really reminds me of Harvest. The same logic in the song and I like how there are still strong symphonic notes in the song.
I've been telling it since Greatest Show On Earth, Nightwish has transcended it music. It doesn't belong in the "Metal" category anymore. It's not Metal, it's something else, something unique. It's just... Nightwish
SOY ARGENTINO Y TENGO 57 DE EDAD...METALERO DESDE LOS 12 DE EDAD...HE ESCUCHADO Y RECORRIDO MILES DE BANDA DE METAL....PERO NIGHTWISH...ME ATRAPO DESDE EL PRIMER TEMA QUE ESCUCHE HACE 20 A;OS...Y NUNCA MAS LOS DEJE DE ESCUCHAR....LA BANDA DE METALSIMFONICO Y MELODICO LA MEJOR LEJOS DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS...SIN DUDAS...CON UNA FLOOR QUE CANTA COMO UNA DIOSA...Y TUOMAS QUE PARA MI EN LO PERSONAL ES BETHOVEEN DE ESTA ERA EL BETHOVEEN DEL METAL...UN MUSICO QUE ESTA MAS ALLA DE LOS DEMAS....ESCALONES MAS ALTO QUE LOS OTROS...APARECIERON CON ESTA OBRA MAESTRA ...UN TEMAZO....SOLO ELLOS LO HACEN....POR SIEMPRE NIGHTWISH....LARGA VIDA AL METAL......BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA....
Tuomas has decided to write songs about mankind, its great discoveries, art, music, science but also its awful sides, manipulation, greed, wars and using fear in societys and as a political tool. All this good and bad we humans do in a paradise planet which could provide meaningful life to all if we come to our sences. Nightwish songs are very positive and greatly layered and leaves you uplifted after listening to it. To make a song of fear itself (or as a tool) makes no sence to write it with positive lyrics. The Day Of...is great in every respect and it leaves you thinking about that fear matter, which is important. Sometimes I think that Nightwish was hired by UN to educate us rockn roll humans.😊😊
Wow, love how this song has a fresh feel but still has that unmistakable Nightwish sound. They’ve managed to evolve while staying true to what makes them great, and the music video is a masterpiece, perfectly complementing the song’s powerful vibe. ❤
Nightwish Army Cleveland, Ohio USA Division reporting for duty. It is such a privilege to be a fan of this amazing band. We are just a little over a month away from Yesterwynde. I can’t wait! I have already pre-ordered the album from iTunes, and I plan on buying two CD copies as well. I hope all Nightwish fans will do the same. Let’s make this a number one album for the band.
Nightwish has truly been my favorite band since I was twelve (15 years ago). I love the diversity of your music, themes, and the feelings you evoke. It's been like a soundtrack to my life while growing up. I really love being alive to witness all your music genious. I hope to see you live again in Mexico when and if you feel the time is right. Thank you so much.
Only fan for few years now, though as a Finn heard them all the way from 1990's. Sometimes it just needs to be the exact right timing for one song to pull you into the rabbithole (and straight through i fell, with power, when that happened. No end in sight) For me it was Elizabeth from charismatic voice reacting to Yours is an empty hope. That song will always have a special place in my heart ❤
Hear Jukka groove on that bass btw!! It's even danceable. 😎 My fav part of the song is from 1:14 to 1:19. I really like Floor's vocallines on that part and the way it sounds and then continue singing and hear Jukka groove again.😄
Took me a moment to get into this one on first listen, but it’s rapidly growing on me. There’s something deeply intriguing about this song that I can’t quite put my finger on, and it makes me want to go back and listen to it a dozen more times just so I can absorb what’s happening musically and what is being said lyrically. Like, there’s some serious depth to this one and I’m not quite getting it yet, but I want to understand it. I suspect this one’s gonna be a banger if they ever do it live, that bridge section is phenomenal. - 2nd watch, I am really digging this song, and I’m deeply disturbed by it. There’s something here that’s just giving me dread and I can’t quite put my finger on it yet. The combination of the music and the video images is really something, they do such good music videos these days. I think I’m starting to understand it more, I feel like they’re talking about fear-mongering and how it’s used to manipulate and control people, and how we just lap it up, but it’s hard to tell without the lyrics available just yet. At least, that’s the vibe I’m getting from the music and the video.
I'm with you 100% wasn't too sure when I first heard it, then replayed it a second time, then a 3rd and 4th. And I think you're right about what the meaning behind the song is too, at least partially; it's not just about how other use fear to manipulate us and we're complicit in it, it's also about how we actively find the worst and darkest parts and focus on that. There are a couple of lines in the third verse; 'A need to feel dread, gloom, awe, A lust for never-ending doom porn', which describes this perfectly. And in the clip, the men are sitting down, unrestrained, and raise their hand voluntarily to have eyedrops applied, rather than in say 'A Clockwork Orange' with a similar scene where the main character is restrained and has to be forced in order to watch the horrific images being flashed at him from the screen.
Mankind is wrecking the nature it needs to survive, synthesizing pandemics in labs, technological advances unrestrained, ethics becoming burdens, following dictators twisting complex truths to simple lies, cultivating hatred and greed, succumbing to morbid pleasure welcoming man's self-made Armageddon, their children crying out doomed to suffer a dystopian future, but they are ignored. This song is true art, it comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comforted.
In a time full of music "products", there is Nightwish... standing apart of all that rubbish, with artistry, real talent and intelligence. So glad I can be here. Many thanks for your music.
This song really is amazing, sounds like early Nightwish, a little from Anettes era and Floors, truly one of the most amazing is so many ways.. can't wait for this album.
once gain, people, you don't disappoint, you never fail to put a smile on my face, with the music and fantastic musicianship/singing. Another masterpiece. The video is amazing too.
First, this song is way too amazing, the lyrics is spatial and the music video is so on point. The choir part make me fly to the moon and the voice of Floor is such so clear. So thanks, once again, for releasing such a masterpiece. Last note to mention, Floor that dress is omg amazing, I’m so in love. Congratulations guys❤
This time I have to say I wish I could give a million likes instead of one and most of them would be for the visuals concepts of this video are fantastic
We encountered technical issues with the video when it was first delivered to TH-cam. It has now been updated with correct audio. Enjoy!

Sure buddy. The last album sucked and if this one is bad, I won't get my partner to go to the concerts anymore cos she totally lost interest.
There was an evolution until around 2000. Since then there is an involution. ^^ The bad things started with forcing Tarja to do less operatic voices.

New Nightwish. New Jinjer. New Leprous. And the release of the Madrigal Project in October! Great year for music!
Also new Dark Tranquility!
I'll admit I've watched this when I'm high, and omg every sentence makes sense, the song is amazing, whole video speaks words. Wonderful tune. We are....? Let's exist. ❤️
Apparently lots of people are straight edge who commented lol,, but I'll try it and see if it improves.
This song is the demonstration, even if there was no need, that you don't play, you don't sing, you don't act... you are the VIBRATION THAT CREATES LIFE. You are and will always remain in my soul. I send you lots of Light. Kisses from Italy 🇮🇹❤️.

Mám viac ako 65 a asi pred 1,5 rokom som našiel skladbu od Nightwish Amarath a očarila má. Odvtedy počúvam denno denne skladby aké od Nightwish existujú a doslova som pri nich omladol. Dodávajú mi silu, kľud a pokoj a dobrú náladu. Dúfam že ich skladby budem môcť počúvať ešte dosť dlho. Zdravim zo Slovenska ❤
Always funny to see people comment “it doesn’t sound like the old …”.
What do people expect? Do they expect artists to keep making the same album over and over again?
It’s like asking Leonardo da Vinci to always paint the same painting, just with slightly different colours.
It's not changes per say that makes fans abandon bands,it's when the alterations are poorly done.There have been changes throughout the 28 years but they still maintained decent success until a decade ago,so the change stuff is a cop out.
@@ricky49rob and there will always be enough new fans who think their alterations are done in the best way possible and actually love the new NW
@@Erikem37 no evidence of that unfortunately,they only have 2 million Spotify followers and the streams are 50% Anette era and 43% from the 6 Tarja releases.
@@wouterverlinden3950 people will always complain when you’re putting out worse stuff. It’s not that it’s different, it’s that it’s not as good as it used to be. Tuomas is bored and his music is boring, too.
@@ricky49rob it's pretty troubling when you build your future with "the number of followers" as your main KPI.
It's good that there are still bands out there who are not afraid to change and try something new.
Wow, this band never stops to surprise me. Each new album is different from the previous ones and yet unmistakably Nightwish. The band manages to maintain its trademark without standing still. Absolutely awesome!
totally agree!!
Nightwish never dissapoints, there is just something about them. Fingers crossed to see them in Chile on their next tour 🤞
Love the sarcastic approach rather than the usual "this is awful" or "A.I. sucks" type of comments.
They've said they won't be touring for this album so you may be waiting a while.
I wasn't really feeling this song until the abrupt change at "Too late; gather up." That caught my attention, and then everything after that was great. Now going back to the beginning, I like the whole thing.
The intro is a cinematic masterpiece.
Once again impressed with Tuomas' lyrics and even more so with Floor's ability to sing them, because boy do they make a complicated vocal line 🤣 Loved the song, my excitement for the album keeps growing!
@@hallvcinations especially when Floor was sick then pregnant, she is dedicated to their art and we would thank them, and especially her for that
Still missing Marco, though ... 😭
I'm telling you - Tuomas knows something and he is sharing his knowledge with us little by little through his music.
Well said.
@@MichaPawelec-tz4ub from the first day on he was writting the first song

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to watch the news but fall sideways through your screen and end up in space? Every freaking Thursday I swear... and my insurance never covers for it!
Jokes aside, I absolutely love the visuals in this video. I don't often like music videos as it feels like they break the images I have in my mind while listening to the music on its own, but this one just works. Wonderful work!
I've stopped watching news way back when - just for that reason
As a music educator, I’d rather be able to watch the band perform. I always learn something new every time I watch. Love the new sound.
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard, Nightwish now and forevermore since Once. I cannot wait for the rest of Yesterwynde ❤
Yes. Yes yes yes. I’ll take ten scoops please! I’m so excited for this album I have no words! It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to listen to the art of such incredibly talented people for over a decade now. Every new release is different, yet so recognisably Nightwish🖤
This was a really cool concept. The makeup on the band was really cool. I’ve said for years Nightwish is more than the music it’s an experience. Tuomas’s writing has been a major influence on me for 25 years.
I've heard the song more than 10 times it's amazing, Floor's voice, the chorus ofI've heard the song more than 10 times it's incredible, Floor's voice, the children's choir is spectacular My favorite part is the chorus at the end with Floor's voice Super powerful with her great Belting she is amazing and the whole band with that great sound 😊❤🎉
And if you listen to it now, it's even more so - the original had some technical issues, they've fixed those now
I'm glad to say the song has grown on me, it has lots of Song of Myself and Scaretale vibes, I picture it in my head like an eerie puppet show or a dark carnival made of AI characters (Tim Burton, or Neil Gaiman's Coraline style) but it will probably be a red version of Matrix (sorry but that's what my mind instantly went to) mixed with the somber world displayed in Noise video
Since you've started to conquer the space, you are legally allowed to call yourself Spacewish from now on
I have to admit, I really had to sit with the song and after many listens, I was coming to the conclusion that it was one of those extremely rare occasions where I simply didn't like the song but seeing it together with the video music it clicked - I get it and I think together they tell an incredible story. Incredible cinematography and thank you, Nightwish, for another masterpiece 🖤
Exactly the same feeling about the song. Not what I expected, but Nightwish music style evolved. Everyone is evolving, regardless of our expectations. Still trying to figure out how I feel about it, because it's not what I used to listen.
@doriantheelf8242 what a wild ride this band is taking us on, huh? I don't think this song will be in my top favorites but at least with the visuals I now understand it better and I think it's a beautiful piece. Here's to evolution and the wild ride
@@emmason8237 i generally find that so fascinating about NW - just look at their discography: EVERY TIME they're trying sthg new. No song, no album is like another. It always evolves and I believe that's what keeps NW alive, even after so many years.
@@lioness.moon.goddesss2402 I agree 100%! Over the years, through the albums and the highs and the lows and the even more epic highs - there's not a band in this world that I love more and am more proud of 🖤 also the way it connects all of us - just the kind of beautiful this world needs now more than ever
@@emmason8237 totally! I must say I also might have a bit of a more relaxed perspective on this as I've found NW just some years ago - I wasn't even born during Tarja era 😅 so I'm used to NW being divers, I have less expectations on how they "should" be, bc even if I don't like it, I still got those maaaanyyy other songs from them that I just love 😌
The more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it! This is so different, yet so Nightwish. Love you guys 🫶🏻
Every time I listen to this it becomes better.
No two Nightwish songs are the same. Each song is more beautiful than the last!
Oh please, they peaked in 2007 - 2012 - Endless forms was ok but the last two albums have been extremely average by comparison, Human : Nature had one good track on it.
@@hammerhiem75 I have a different taste in music than you. I enjoy Floor era music more than the earlier stuff. And that's ok. Or at least should be ok. :)
@@SilverCreek24 You can like what ever you like but objectively the quality of the music has dropped of a cliff, this is reflected in the lack of album sales and views.

HN So low they didn't even bother listing it. didn't even make Gold.
@@hammerhiem75 Everyone is selling less albums than they did 20 years ago. The world has changed, and now streaming is becoming more and more popular. Besides, every band and artist has the one album that sold more than the others, and it doesn't take away anything from the music they have made after that. As long as bands and artists are happy with their own art then I'm happy. I'm not the type of person who condemns someone's career because of albums sales. I encourage them to continue doing their own thing and stay true to themselves. :)
I believe in the power of positivity. :)
@@SilverCreek24I could'nt agree more ❤
What an amazing song! I love the music, the dramatic development, the instruments and the climax. The contrast between the increasing moods of lyrics and instruments, and the innocent seeming choir is stunning! The lyrics are very deep layered and remind me of personal things and the whole cultural and sociocultural development of the last years. I agree. Thank you to Nightwish and greetings to 1984!

My bro....Tuomas cooked with this one. Damn, so heavy, so epic.
Cant wait to hear the other songs of the album
I see people criticizing and there are still 10 more songs to listen to XD
Is the CD going to have 12 tracks ? This one is far better than Perfume.

Me too, uncomfortable of how bad this is
Kinda like being aboard a Boing 737...
Tons of hours of selecting the perfect microphone, recording million takes, flying to London to record a real orchestra & choir, spending insane amounts of money in production, countless mixing and mastering hours including dolby atmos, and then finally when the time comes for the world to hear your new masterpiece, you release in MONO AUDIO
Wait, you sure it's not stereo?
@@RangelGabrielits not in stereo and it was a accident.
Oh my god! :D
Luckily it's OK on other streaming platforms 🙂
@@thor_nay the director did really long last few days before the release and apparently when this was uploaded there was a mistake in the audio side. They are fixing it now… thanks.
I'm so happy that Nightwish is still making songs that are not rushed. We can notice that they're well elaborated, showing the time spent in each song. You are great and I am grateful that you share your work with us. Well done!
First off I really like this song and its new sound, I love it when they do something new and also try different ways of doing the verses (also great pronunciation by Floor). And as always the lyrics are absolutely brilliant. I also have to say that having the children's choir sing the refrain is a great idea and for those who complain about this, it literally says "We are the ill-starred kids...".
The only thing I would have liked them to do more with is the part after the amazing instrumental part. It's such a nice build-up just to immediately slow down again and start with another verse? I know they can do much better. I usually like how they play with qieter/silent moments but I think it doesn't fit at this point of the song.
I have to agree with others when saying that Floor's voice is not used to its full potential. I adore her operatic head voice, which I've missed in the latest albums, and I think they could have done something a bit more dramatic after that instrumental part with her voice and maybe some dark violins so it feels more dramatic. But the ending of the song is very well done and sounds very cool.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the album!
Great song. Great message. Tuomas has always expressed himself and the world around him so beautifully through his music. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
This composition's structure really reminds me of Harvest. The same logic in the song and I like how there are still strong symphonic notes in the song.
He stole from himself the central riff of Harvest, that's kinda ridiculous for me
Thanks for all the years being a bright spot. Having a respite meant a lot. Love to you all. ••• PEACES!!!
I've been telling it since Greatest Show On Earth, Nightwish has transcended it music. It doesn't belong in the "Metal" category anymore. It's not Metal, it's something else, something unique. It's just... Nightwish
Love Floor! What a Great Singer!
Love NW - what a great band including female vocals. Metal Mozart makes it all possible.

My neighbor hates me ever since I started listening to this 😂😍😍😍

They are having problems hearing it well. TURN IT UP! 😁
Tuomas has decided to write songs about mankind, its great discoveries, art, music, science but also its awful sides, manipulation, greed, wars and using fear in societys and as a political tool. All this good and bad we humans do in a paradise planet which could provide meaningful life to all if we come to our sences. Nightwish songs are very positive and greatly layered and leaves you uplifted after listening to it. To make a song of fear itself (or as a tool) makes no sence to write it with positive lyrics. The Day Of...is great in every respect and it leaves you thinking about that fear matter, which is important. Sometimes I think that Nightwish was hired by UN to educate us rockn roll humans.😊😊
Wow, love how this song has a fresh feel but still has that unmistakable Nightwish sound. They’ve managed to evolve while staying true to what makes them great, and the music video is a masterpiece, perfectly complementing the song’s powerful vibe. ❤

Nightwish has truly been my favorite band since I was twelve (15 years ago). I love the diversity of your music, themes, and the feelings you evoke. It's been like a soundtrack to my life while growing up. I really love being alive to witness all your music genious. I hope to see you live again in Mexico when and if you feel the time is right. Thank you so much.

Only fan for few years now, though as a Finn heard them all the way from 1990's. Sometimes it just needs to be the exact right timing for one song to pull you into the rabbithole (and straight through i fell, with power, when that happened. No end in sight)
For me it was Elizabeth from charismatic voice reacting to Yours is an empty hope. That song will always have a special place in my heart ❤

Took me a moment to get into this one on first listen, but it’s rapidly growing on me. There’s something deeply intriguing about this song that I can’t quite put my finger on, and it makes me want to go back and listen to it a dozen more times just so I can absorb what’s happening musically and what is being said lyrically. Like, there’s some serious depth to this one and I’m not quite getting it yet, but I want to understand it. I suspect this one’s gonna be a banger if they ever do it live, that bridge section is phenomenal.

2nd watch, I am really digging this song, and I’m deeply disturbed by it. There’s something here that’s just giving me dread and I can’t quite put my finger on it yet. The combination of the music and the video images is really something, they do such good music videos these days. I think I’m starting to understand it more, I feel like they’re talking about fear-mongering and how it’s used to manipulate and control people, and how we just lap it up, but it’s hard to tell without the lyrics available just yet. At least, that’s the vibe I’m getting from the music and the video.
I'm with you 100% wasn't too sure when I first heard it, then replayed it a second time, then a 3rd and 4th.
And I think you're right about what the meaning behind the song is too, at least partially; it's not just about how other use fear to manipulate us and we're complicit in it, it's also about how we actively find the worst and darkest parts and focus on that. There are a couple of lines in the third verse; 'A need to feel dread, gloom, awe, A lust for never-ending doom porn', which describes this perfectly.
And in the clip, the men are sitting down, unrestrained, and raise their hand voluntarily to have eyedrops applied, rather than in say 'A Clockwork Orange' with a similar scene where the main character is restrained and has to be forced in order to watch the horrific images being flashed at him from the screen.
Mankind is wrecking the nature it needs to survive, synthesizing pandemics in labs, technological advances unrestrained, ethics becoming burdens, following dictators twisting complex truths to simple lies, cultivating hatred and greed, succumbing to morbid pleasure welcoming man's self-made Armageddon, their children crying out doomed to suffer a dystopian future, but they are ignored.
This song is true art, it comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comforted.
it's incredible how many years Nightwish has been just killing it with these incredible songs
28 years now still and always hands down AMAZING!
